    Way too hot out today. In the past I had done well on these extremely hot days but today it was just a bunch of striped bass, a catfish and one good lookin crappie. ...more I noticed they are tearing up the drive and gate entrance. Had to go in the exit to launch. Anyone know what’s all going on there?

      I’m a big fan of the Andy’s breading. I like to mix in some of the Andy’s cajun with the yellow.

      any way to adjust the darn thing? maybe I purchased a defective one.
    4. Gregory Smith 0
      Hans I have the same lower but when I use it it wants to pull far to the left as I retrieve
    5. Hans Grubenstein 0
      It’s been all over the place but lately since the water has been so warm it’s been between 12-19 feet regularly and more with lures than grubs and tubes. This spring/ ...more summer they were way closer to shore and hitting grubs for me more than lures.
